Hi,
I'm running dovecot on an Ubuntu server (1:1.0.5-1ubuntu2). Dovecot
provides pop3, imap, and sasl to postfix. The setup works quite
nicely, however I do have one error that shows up repeatedly in my
dovecot.log.

dovecot: 2007-12-12 09:29:06 Error: child 32765 (login) killed with signal 9
dovecot: 2007-12-12 09:29:06 Error: child 18039 (login) killed with signal 9

I'm not aware that this is actually causing problems, but since it
shows up several hundred times a day on a couple-user setup, I'm
rather curious about what's causing it.
It is rather odd. Signal 9 is "KILL" and that is a rather rude way to
be knocking out dovecot login processes. It isn't a normal occurrence
on the Dovecot machines I work with, and it seems unlikely that
anything internal to Dovecot would be doing that sort of thing.
Since the 5 you show imply (weakly) that the slaughter is taking out
login processes in simultaneous bunches a few seconds into a minute,
I'd start looking at whether you have any sort of ill-considered
system housekeeping running from cron.
